FC Marbach: Dramatic relegation thanks to a last-minute goal!

On June 1, 2025, FC Marbach celebrated a decisive victory in the fight to stay in the district league. With a narrow 2-1, the team prevailed against TSV Schwieberdingen and thus secured their place in the league. In a thrilling game, Christos Makrigiannis scored in the 89th minute from a corner from Luis Herre, which caused celebrations among the players and fans. "It was a nerve-wracking game, but we never gave up," said coach Antonio Carneiro after the game. The important three points are of enormous importance before the last matchday against direct rivals TSV Nussdorf.

The first half of the game was rather uneventful, with only one significant scoring opportunity for Marbach, who took a 1-0 lead in the 25th minute through a free kick from Dominik Gallert. Schwieberdingen was unable to create any dangerous chances in the penalty area until the break. However, this changed in the second half when TSV equalized with a goal in the 79th minute to make it 1-1. This situation put the people of Marbach to the test, but their fighting attitude bore fruit.

Key actions and team performance

In the second 45 minutes, Marbach had several chances to win the game. According to Antonio Carneiro, the players had a total of seven good opportunities. However, a goal from Lukas Möhle was disallowed for offside. In addition, Schwieberdingen's goalkeeper, Tim Hoffmann, parried a few shots from Marbach, which kept the hosts in the game for a long time.

In the run-up to the game, the starting situation for the Marbach team was tense. The draw threatened relegation, but thanks to Makrigianna's late goal they were able to save the situation. After the final score, the referee indicated four minutes of added time, which Marbach survived and thus secured the important victory. The players demonstrated great fighting spirit and were not disturbed by the equalizer.
